Compare Boat Insurance for Chauncey & Nearby Waters
From small fishing boats and PWCs to river cruisers, we build policies for the Tug Fork River, Ohio River access, and local waterways around Chauncey, including trips to nearby lakes and rivers in southern West Virginia.
Why Boat Insurance Matters Here
Local waterways feature rivers with currents, varying water levels, and recreational traffic. A modern boat policy bundles hull (your boat), liability (bodily injury & property damage you cause), medical payments, and options like on-water towing, fuel-spill liability, salvage & wreck removal, and fishing gear/personal effects. If you trailer, we’ll also address trailer coverage and where auto liability responds during over-the-road incidents.
Heading to the Ohio River or exploring Tug Fork? We’ll set navigation limits that match your plans and talk through seasonal lay-up periods, storm plans, and launch site requirements.

West Virginia Boating Basics (What to Know)
Registration & Title
Most boats and PWCs operating on WV waters must be registered with the WV DNR. Keep registration aboard whenever under way.
Boating Safety Certificate
Most powerboat/PWC operators need a Boating Safety Certificate issued via WV DNR-approved courses. Carry your card while operating.
Local Planning
Check river levels (e.g., USGS gauges), no-wake zones, and access points before you cast off. Launch areas may require proof of insurance.
Tip: If your boat is financed or you use public launches, expect minimum liability limits and “proof of insurance” (COI). We’ll provide certificates at binding and renewal.
